WWII veteran evicted from Boston apartment while recovering from pneumonia

A 95-year-old veteran has been stripped of his property, memories after he was evicted from his apartment in Boston while recovering from a weeks long illness.

Ilya Levin was hospitalized this spring after he came down with pneumonia, family told WCVB. Fearing a potentially long recovery, family paid two months rent in advance yet when Levin returned to his longtime Boston home, he found it empty, except his WWII uniform.

Gone was his clothing, his furniture, his photos of loved ones.

"He had a little place where he would have all his pictures," Eugene Levin told WCVB. "His pictures of his parents that died during the Holocaust, it's gone. It's not here."

The management company of Patricia White Apartments has not responded to their requests for more information, the family said. Mayor Marty Walsh's office is looking into the matter.
